Skeletal Muscle is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that publishes articles investigating molecular mechanisms underlying the biology of skeletal muscle. A wide range of skeletal muscle biology is included: development, metabolism, the regulation of mass and function, aging, degeneration, dystrophy and regeneration. The emphasis is on understanding adult skeletal muscle, its maintenance, and its interactions with non-muscle cell types and regulatory modulators. Skeletal Muscle aims to provide a venue for the publication of novel, cutting-edge research and technological developments involving the application of molecular biology, cellular biology, and biochemistry-based approaches, and to answer questions relevant to the understanding of skeletal muscle.
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration. This is the official Journal of the International Skeletal Society.
Skin Appendage Disorders provides a wide range of original and review articles dealing with all aspects of hair, nail, and skin glands. The section “Novel Insights from Clinical Practice” introduces special case examples and their treatments. Innovative therapies are presented under the heading “Novel Treatments”, and in “Clinical Investigations” the latest findings are discussed. A special highlight are the articles in the section “Guidelines” that present the consensus treatments, which are a must-read for everyone who wants to stay up to date. The section “Adnexal Surgery” focuses on both established and approved as well as new surgical treatments. Pathological evaluation of skin appendage disorders requires specific training, and the “Pathology” section will be open to original papers and reviews on this topic.
Covering all aspects of the field, Skin Appendage Disorders is of primary importance for dermatologists in clinics and research, dermatological surgeons as well as cosmetic dermatologists.
